Getting in the Game: Overcoming Injuries

In every game there are injuries. We definitely don’t like to see our favorite players go down to injury but we know that is the risk the players take when they play hard and play to win.

There are certain players that have had the same injury over their whole career. Past injuries can threaten any player if they have not taken the time to heal and regain their strength. Often times it means they have to go through physical therapy to slowly regain their strength. No player ever wants to sit out of the game they love to nurse an injury but it is extremely important that they do it or it will get progressively worse.

If we are truthful with ourselves we know that there are many things that can injure us in this life, everything from broken relationships to broken bodies. Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart I have overcome the world.” Jesus promised that there would be One who would come as our guide or our trainer to help heal the hurts. The Holy Spirit is called the comforter who is able to heal hearts and give strength to the weak.

What injuries have you suffered in this life, both external and internal? What process did you go through to heal? Do you have injuries in your life that you have chosen to ignore, hoping they would just go away? Have you noticed the pain that continues to hang around?

We will be dealing with the issue of injury and healing in this week’s message. Leave your comments below or on our Facebook page. Thanks!
